the proposed monument, toward the
erection of which each of their States
have made an appropriation. The
United States government has made
a grant of 100000 for monument
25O feet high. The association, how
ever, has adopted plans for monu-
ment 800 feet high, to cost So ,O0O
and has $50, 900 guaranteed to de-
fray expenses. The result of the
conference was the approval of the
plan for the higher structure, to be
built by a competent contractor under
heavy bonds, provided the consent OF
the United States government to the
increasein height can be obtained.
If that can not be obtained,a 250 foot
plan will be adopted.

"I.augh and grow fat" is a trite
old saying and for the past week our
citizens have had IN opportunity of
putting ii to test, About the time
of the opening of the railroad to this
place the editor of the SITTER wrote
up and published, in pamphlet form,
"i,oudondeny and Vicinity setting
forth its natural scenery, manufactur-
ing advantages etc. Afterward, at
the request of Col. Peabody, who
was then keeping the hotel, he con-
densed n portion of it and printed il

letter heads. This spring Mr.. Con-
verse, who is now running the hotel,
adopted the same and had some
printed. Last week the pseudo-edit-
or of an alleged newspaper obtained
one of these and copied it, line for

But what seemed to add zest to the
matter was the fact that in the same
issue, after wholly mistating the
facts in reference to the Lamson Ii

side the pale of responsible manhood"
However, it is not thought that he
wrote this either. And now some
are beginning to enquire whether or
no his brilliant war stories have not
a similar origen. The lack of charity
is the bane of this world, and it is
very unkind when fellow, once in
three months should put something
worth reading in his paper that peo-
pie should laugh about it.
A social dance will be held at the

This will be the first of the summer

noted for their large attendance and
quiet social life.

Advantages that AYERS SARSAPARILLA
Possesses over all Others.

II is composed of the most efllcacious
Alternative, dimetic, and tonic drugs known
IN pharmacy, among which are the
genuine Honduras Sarsaparilla, Yellow
Dock, Stillingia, and the Ioddes of Potas-
sum and Iron.
II is highly concentrated medicine,
scientifically and honestly compounded so
us to secure to it the highest degree of
activity and perfect uniformity.
1t has received the hearty endorsement
of the leading men in the medical profess
sion, who recognize II as standard phar-
maceutical preparation, and prescribe it
in their practice.
1t contains no poisonous minerals or
other dangerous drugs, the use of which
for temporary effect in the many crude
and cheap mixtures sold as alternatives,
produces effects on the system often worse
than the diseases they are offered TO cure.
1t costs no more than any other, but
would still be the cheapest blood-purify-
mg medicine in the world, even were its
price three times greater, since it is the
only one that does "real, lasting good"
